The expression that demonstrates the commutative property of addition is:
**6 + 4 + 5 = 4 + 6 + 5**
The commutative property of addition states that you can add numbers in any order and the sum will be the same.
The other options you provided involve multiplication and do not illustrate the commutative property of addition. For example:
- **(4x5)x6 = 4x(5x6)** demonstrates the associative property of multiplication.
- **5(4+6)=50** is incorrect as it evaluates to 50 rather than being an expression illustrating any property.
- **4x6x5=4x5x6** demonstrates the commutative property of multiplication.
So, the correct answer for the commutative property of addition is **6 + 4 + 5 = 4 + 6 + 5**.
**6 + 4 + 5 = 4 + 6 + 5**
